Milliken Achieves Cradle to Cradle Certified® Silver

Milliken & Company has reached significant heights in sustainability by earning the Cradle to Cradle Certified® Silver for its entire global carpet range. This distinction, awarded under version 5.0, emphasizes the company's commitment to material health, product lifecycle management, and transparency in sustainable practices.

Commitment to Sustainability

The certification serves as an independent confirmation that Milliken’s products fulfill rigorous standards across various sustainability categories. Architects, designers, and builders are provided an assurance that these carpets meet high demands for environmentally-friendly materials. The Cradle to Cradle Certified® program is one of the most recognized sustainability certifications in the built environment. It evaluates products based on criteria such as material health, product recyclability, air quality, climate protection, water and soil conservation, and social justice.

The extensive certification obtained by Milliken demonstrates the company's holistic approach to responsible product development and manufacturing. Allie Bruski, Vice President of Product Marketing at Milliken, stated, "For many customers, understanding sustainability has become increasingly complex. This certification ensures that by choosing Milliken carpets, they select products that have been independently tested for material compatibility, recyclability, and overall sustainability performance."

Tradition of Transparency

Milliken’s transparent practices reflect its long-standing tradition of responsible product management. For decades, the company has invested efforts to provide customers with a deeper understanding of the materials used, which contribute to healthier and more productive spaces. The Cradle to Cradle Certified® Silver also symbolizes a credible validation of this commitment by an independent third party.

Despite the growing importance of sustainability, Milliken believes customers should not compromise on performance, comfort, or design. Their carpet solutions not only meet well-established sustainability standards but also continue to deliver versatility, durability, and user-centered advantages that customers expect from a leading carpet provider. The company's carpet platform with padded backing enhances comfort, improves acoustics, and increases ergonomics, creating spaces that are both functional and inspiring.

Dale Kitchen, Head of Research and Development for Milliken’s flooring division, emphasized, "This recognition validates the efforts of our teams to integrate sustainability into how we design and manufacture products. It also provides customers another reason to trust that Milliken carpets can help them meet both their sustainability goals and performance expectations."
